Interpregnancy Care Project-Mississippi (IPC-M)
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Premature Birth
In brief
The IPC program will enroll women who deliver Very Low Birth Weight babies (stillborn or liveborn) at University of Mississippi Medical Center and women who have Very Low Birth Weight babies that receive treatment in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at University of Mississippi Medical Center and provide each woman with 24 months of funded comprehensive, integrated, primary health care services (including family planning, social services, general medical services,and basic dental care), and enhanced case management. The services will be community-based (via UMC Clinics, community health centers, and outreach programs) and will be provided by a multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, social workers, case managers, and Resource Mothers/Resource Workers. At the end of project follow-up, we will evaluate the success of the program in terms of improvement of general health status of enrolled women, and subsequent reproductive health outcomes (i.e., achieving reproductive intentions, intendedness and spacing of subsequent pregnancies, birth weight distribution of subsequent pregnancies) and cost of delivery services compared to reproductive health outcomes in the project's control population.
